EAST LANSING, Mich. — Jase Richardson scored 18 of his career-high 29 points in the second half, lifting No. 9 Michigan State to a comeback 86-74 win over Oregon that gave coach Tom Izzo 353 Big Ten wins to tie Bob Knight's record. The Spartans trailed by 14 points at halftime and took over in the second half with Richardson leading the way at both ends. Richardson's father, former Michigan State star and NBA player Jason Richardson, attended the game as part of a reunion of the 2000 national champions. The Ducks lost five straight games for the first time since the 2013-2014 season.
